Negroamaro Appassimento

Deep ruby red with garnet hues. Delicious fruity bouquet with clear notes of blackberry, berries, chocolate. At the palate intense reminiscent of red fruit in spirits and plum jam.

My name is Ronco di Sassi “Negroamaro Appassimento”, after days of drying on the vine, the overripe grapes give me a complex and extraordinary body. They are an intense red colour with fruity notes of blackberry and red fruits and spicy notes of chocolate and liquorice. They are produced with patience and passion, first in the vineyard and then in the cellar, revealing an authentic experience of the South.
